About The Surveillance Technology Oversight Project:
The Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (S.T.O.P.) is a mission-driven organization working to end discriminatory surveillance. Through a unique virtual law firm model, we partner with New York’s largest law firms to provide free legal services and impact litigation for communities targeted by surveillance abuse. We advocate for systemic change and surveillance abolition by pushing for progressive legislation, like state / local bans of facial recognition and geofence warrants, by crafting policies that protect civil rights in the digital age, and by publishing research on emerging surveillance threats. S.T.O.P. also empowers impacted communities through privacy trainings and public education, and uses media advocacy to hold institutions accountable and amplify the voices of those we serve.
About the Executive Director Role:
S.T.O.P seeks a visionary and justice-driven leader to serve as its next Executive Director, guiding the organization into an ambitious new chapter. S.T.O.P. is at the forefront of the fight against discriminatory government surveillance in New York and beyond—working to protect privacy, advance civil rights, and set a global standard for confronting the harms of policing technologies. Our mission centers the communities most impacted by law enforcement’s abuse of surveillance technology: Black communities, Muslim Americans, immigrants, abortion seekers, protestors, and LGBTQ+ individuals.
The Executive Director will steward a dynamic and growing team of staff, interns, volunteers, and pro bono attorneys. They will provide strategic oversight across all facets of the organization—including litigation, advocacy, policy, research, communications, development, and coalition building—with clarity, compassion, and bold leadership. The ideal candidate is a compelling storyteller with the foresight to confront emerging technologies and the ability to translate complex issues into urgent, accessible calls to action, with a vision of rapidly scaling organizational funding from foundations, individuals, and fee-for-service work.
This role reports directly to the Board of Directors and offers a rare opportunity to lead one of the nation’s most cutting-edge civil rights organizations at a critical time in the fight for digital justice and police accountability.

Compensation & Location:
S.T.O.P. provides a generous benefits package, including an array of employer-funded medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with no employee premium contribution.

S.T.O.P. is a fully remote organization, with one optional, in-person co-working day each week. Candidates based in New York City are strongly preferred, but exceptional candidates based outside of New York City and New York State will be considered, especially if they have an established understanding of New York legislation and civil society. The executive director would be expected to travel out of state occasionally for fundraising, public speaking, and other opportunities.
